The fun begins.

Ping.

[The South Texan]

My dead dog could beat that brainless twit Murray. If Nettercut can't beat Murray, then the GOP should just cede Washington to the communists and be done with it.

Best wishes to him, and to all of you who wish to be rid of the plague of Sen. Murray. I hope someone is doing the planning now to take out the other dippy senator when her time comes.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I note that the paper pretty much buries the fact that Murray praised BinLaden.

"In 2000, he bucked Republican party leaders on the issue of trade sanctions against Cuba by successfully pushing legislation to allow American farmers and companies to sell food and medicine there."

Murray is an idiot.

At least half of Washingtonians are idiots.

Birds of a feather.........

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Praising Bin Laden does not do Murray any damage in King County (Seattle) Washington. Saddam Hussein could beat George W. Bush head to head in an election there. The level of hatred for Republicans in that population center (which dominates Washington politics and decides all statewide elections) is unimaginable to people from outside the area.

The city elite consider Republicans worse-than-Ayatollah's, people who will hamper them in the pursuit of free "love", homosexuality and abortions. The rest are hard-core unionists, who think businesses are nothing but slave-shops who oppress the "working" people.

Washington elected Murray with the knowledge of how stupid she is well-known and documented. It didn't matter. This population center elected JIM MCDERMOTT!!! And they still love him and think he is a hero.

Nethercutt could run an outstanding race (and he probably will, he's a good candidate) and still lose big here. The state is very gone, South Texan, and, yes, communism (actually a melded form of fascism/communism is far more popular up here than free enterprise, and certainly far more popular than the almost non-existant GOP.

The only state with a senator more clueless than Murray is. . .

Washington.

Maria Cantwell tops the list of twits in the "Upper House."

[CyberCowboy777]

No doubt about it....

Even their staffers, who I assume write the response letters, are idiots.

We can only hope that as the eastern and sw part of the state grow we can gain some majority and get a Conservative in national office.

[hinterlander]

Don't count out Eastern Washington.

Gorton lost a close one to Cantwell in 2000 because conservatives in the Palouse refused to campaign for him due to the fact that he wimped out on the Clinton impeachment.

[My2Cents]

When is the GOP going to get a prominent Republican to go afer Barbara Boxer? There was news yesterday that Boxer was "angry" over the so-called terrorism "futures trading" idea out of the Defense Department. I don't know why this was news, because Boxer is "angry" at everything.

Yah!

I was living in Washington when she ran for Senate. She pulled a Hillary jumping up and down like an excited schoolgirl w/ a bob haircut and tennis shoes. As soon as she hit DC she butched up and got pissed off at the world. I had to mention this to my liberal friends in Seattle and after the OBL statement they still praised her. My observation really ruffled their feathers. Needless to say I moved to Texas 9 years ago and it is a conservatives dream. Put it this way, after 9-11 flags went up on SUVs and trucks and cars all over, even signs in yards with God Bless America/ Bless the Troops on them. A mutual friend asked my brother when he visited Seattle if there were as many NO WAR WITH IRAQ signs in Dallas as there were in Seattle and he laughed his ass off. I can barely spend 3 days in Seattle anymore, the beauty of the city and state is not even enough to keep me there.

[CyberCowboy777]

It does not help that the state GOP is weak and has no ability to pursued even a small percentage of the population to vote for GOP candidates.

There is a whole generation that can be tapped, a generation looking for identity.

{Praising Bin Laden does not do Murray any damage in King County (Seattle) Washington. Saddam Hussein could beat George W. Bush head to head in an election there}

No wonder why Seattle Congresscritter Rep. Jim McDermont visited Iraq, and blasted Bush's plan to attack Iraq.
